The Top 5 Books To Cozy Up To This Fall
Jonathan Pendleton

As the weather drops, and the outside activities become slim, everyone needs something to do while they are cuddled up in bed, under the warm covers. Well, you know what my favorite thing to do during this chilly season is? Catch up on reading some new and great books. From the self-proclaimed book nerd herself, here are some great new titles sure to keep you happy on a crisp, chilly, fall day.

1. "Luckiest Girl Alive" by Jessica Knoll

This is a first from breakout author, Jessica Knoll, and I read it in one day, because I just could not put it down. It focuses on successful and glamorous adult Ani FaNelli, and highlights a cruel and unbelievable humiliation that happened to her at high school. Jessica Knoll captures mystery, suspense, humor, emotion and sass all in this novel, and it is sure to leave you interested and intrigued right up until the last page.


2. "Handle With Care" by Jodi Piccoult

From the wonderful author, Jodi Piccoult, emerges one of my newest, favorite books, titled Handle With Care. This novel follows the O'Keefe family, and their daughter Willow, who suffers from Type III osteogenesis imperfect, also described as brittle own syndrome. Poor Willow breaks easily, and this novel follows her parents, Sean and Charlotte, and their journey for funds to support their daughter, and justice from the child's OBGYN. An emotional read, told from the main view from Charlotte, but featuring snippets from other characters, "Handle With Care" is sure to give you goosebumps.

3. "Room" by Emma Donoghue

This novel, by Emma Donoghue, was recently turned into a movie! The novel, however, is sure to leave you speechless. Told from the point of view of five-year-old, Jack, you realize that this poor boy and his mother have been kept captive for his entire life. This novel will leave you rooting for their safety, and exposes you to a plot that is rarely discussed; the life of a kidnapping and sexual assault victim.

4. "Salem's Lot" by Stephen King

Well, with fall comes October, and with October comes horror movies and Halloween. You know I had to include a few scary novels, especially this one by Stephen King. I actually had to read this book for a class, and was super excited, because Stephen King books are always fun. This is an earlier novel, his second one, published in 1975, but still terrifying. It follows the writer, Ben Mears, who returns to his childhood home of Jerusalem's Lot, to soon find it is being taken over by vampires. Ben joins forces with some of the local towns folk, and they fight this evil force up until the very last page!

5. "Dark Places" by Gillian Flynn

Another one by my favorite author, Gillian Flynn, that is filled with disturbing scenes and crazy plot twists. This novel follows Libby Day, whose childhood was ruined when her mother and two sisters were brutally murdered. She testified against her brother, Ben, but now, twenty-five-year-old Libby is discovered by the Kill Club — a sort of crime obsessed secret society, and they drag her in and make her question that entire night all over again. "Dark Places" will have you reeling for the truth, and will leave you stunned with the revelations.

Well, there you have it guys! Happy fall, and happy reading!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
